No joke: Indonesian man nearly marries wrong woman after Google Map leads him to wrong address

Imagine nearly getting married to a stranger instead of the love of your life.

A glitch in Google Maps led a man in Indonesia, who was making his way to his wedding, to the wrong venue on April 4.

Read the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. Coincidentally, an engagement was taking place that day in the same village in Central Java.

The groom and his entourage were exchanging gifts with the 'bride's' family when someone realised they had entered the wrong home.

He apologised for the mix-up and was led to the right place for his wedding.

Depends. If his bride-to-be looked like a brush hawg and the 'oopsie' was a hottie, I'd play along then consummate the marriage before anyone figured it out.

Didn’t this happen to Jacob back in the Old Testament? Of course Jacob was a bit of a trickster himself.

Probably an arranged Muslim marriage.
